Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics (CEBU) at MCRI in association with the Melbourne Children's Trials Centre specialises in biostatistics, epidemiological methods and data management. Experienced biostatisticians are not only essential for developing sample size estimates and analysis plans but also invariably provide valuable input into many aspects of trial design and conduct, based on the wide range of trials experience that they have typically had. Modern clinical trial teams are expected to include professional statistical expertise.
